Help Support Valve Replacement Forums:
Diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis in 2001, I had no symptoms until July, 2009. Then, I was dizzy, short of breath and experienced palpitations and arrthymia. Every activity left me exhausted.
I'm a Beekeeper with a Koi pond and share my home with pair of Tonkinese. The photo is of my young chum, Teti. I enjoy drawing, woodcarving, the study of history & my road bike.

- Surgery
- I had an AVR using a Carpentier-Edwards Bovine Pericardial Bio-prosthetic valve and my sternum was closed with Sternal Talons. Surgery was performed on 22 September, 2009. Now in 2019, preparing for a second replacement with TAVR on 30 April.
- Medications
- I now take an Aspirin & Lisinopril as well as a multivitamin.
- Occupation
- At work, I'm part of a team of environmental consultants.
- Referral
- I searched Google for "Aortic Stenosis support group"
